Since you’re violating High Culture rule #3, we’ll start. Ryan Reynolds is directly responsible for the death of a black woman by knowingly forcing her to perform a stunt she stated she was not comfortable performing. Do you actually have evidence/a citation for this? Because it's a pretty big deal...

the youtube channel WiseCrack has a pretty great analysis of it in their Earthling Cinemas series. It's got kind of a weird gimmick, and I can't remember if Wise Crack is one word or two. It's been a while since I've seen the movie. It also feels like it's been a while since the Coen brothers had a...

The more time goes by the more I dislike how emotionally manipulative this movie is. Someone at Pixar said "We need everyone to cry at the end, no matter how in-line with the rest of the film it is" and they decided to go with what they did. It's some Lars Von Trier-level bullshit. You mu...

Problems I had with the film: 1. Flying magical jedi space jesus. 2. That the above is Leia. This was literally the strangest, dumbest thing they could have done. The entire sequence was unnecessary, sets up nothing, and was freaking strange. ...holy mother of God. I was done with this at 1, then 2...

Only ones where the poster provides a link with zero context beyond a thread name as to what the link is. Then I'll write a post about what I believe the link is about, having not watched it. Because fuck watching random ass-links without knowing what it is before I click it. This isn't 1997 and I'...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZfuNTqbHE8 Alright chucklefucks, since this asshole couldn't be bothered - It's Talon Time! In this corner we gotta giant purple fucker named Thanos! Thanos the God! Thanos the Immortal! Thanos the bro with a helicopter with his name on the side! In this corner we go...

Generic season 2 spoilers, all assume you've seen the whole thing but I'm also not getting specific Eleven spent too much time away from The Group. Especially for the stuff with Kali to not really go anywhere while using stock characters (the large black guy is actually a teddy bear with a hear...

Season 1 - 6/10 Season 2 - 7.5/10 (loses half a mark for episode 7) Favourite character in season 2: Steve Favourite line in season 2: 'Analogy? That's what you're worried about right now?!' Most confusing part of season 2: Paul Reiser is playing a good guy? Most traumatic part of se...

I don't know if Blade Runner 2049 will be a cult classic one day, but I think it will be remembered at least for being part of Denis Villenueve's career, I can see him being highly acclaimed for years to come.

I think the length had to do with the box office problems. All the theaters around here only had a ~8 pm showing instead of the standard 7 and 9 showings due to length. This hurts. They try throwing an earlier showing but it tends to be before people are out of work so you don't get many people sho...

I thought it was decent, pretty funny in places, wish there’d been more of the rock guy Taika Waititi voices. I preferred the other two Marvel films this year though, there’s nothing in this quite as funny as the Mary Poppins line in Guardians 2 and no moment as impressive as the twist in Spider-Man...

Trump is going to be president for the next three years. It sucks, but that's the way it is. The chances of him being impeached are incredibly slim, and the chances of him being removed via the 25th are even slimmer. For the Pence reason already mentioned, I'm happier to have him stay in office tha...

I was genuinely stunned when we find out Vulture is Liz's father. The action stuff was fairly same old same old, but I liked the high school stuff a lot. Zendaya channelling Daria for her character was especially funny (that Washington Monument bit!). Hope we see more of her in the sequel. As fo...

BoJo and Moggy. Two names off the top of my head who have a modicum of charisma. The Tories expected a big majority at the start. That was because they had yet to reveal their utterly cancerous manifesto. If they had just shut up and stuck to platitudes like "Brexit means Brexit", and kep...

Speaking as a Labour supporter my whole life, before we crack open the champagne, we need to figure out how to win. Happy to accept that may need to be led by Corbyn, but in case anyone missed it, we came second. No prize for second place. Until 10pm on Thursday, pretty much everyone thought the To...

I'm talking about rational self-interest, which has nothing to do with optimism or naivete. If saner heads prevail, then they will negotiate in good faith. If they want to make an example, they'll offer a crap deal they know the UK will reject. My estimation is that the latter outcome will hurt the...
